    There is an association between the grade of retinopathy and mortality.

    This is most commonly seen in eye disease caused by high blood pressure (hypertensive retinopathy). It is thought that, since the arteriole and venule share a common sheath, the arteriole's thicker walls push against those of the venule forcing the venule to collapse. This makes the venule form an hourglass shape around the arteriole.
